Well, this is a followup review and I'm sure you will be glad to read it. I had the pleasure of driving up to Reno for the holidays. It was a nice un-eventful drive. I stopped by my favorite food source in Tonopah at the Banc Club and had their burger. I almost ordered their turkey, but you know, I had my fill and wanted to save a dollar or two. Their turkey dinner is about $9.00. The burger came out good. Though the menu did state swiss and there was american cheese on it. I thought it was a bit unusual that the dish washer was also the cook, but what the hay, this place is open 24 hours per day and I did arrive at 10:30 PM. Service was good. On my way back to Vegas, I stopped by the Banc Club again for dinner. This time, it was a lot earlier. About 9:30 PM. When I arrived I saw someone waiting tables. Or, I should say, I waited while he talked to some locals. Finally, after 6 minutes, he comes by and asks if I want a menu. I felt like saying no, I'm here for the scenery! I knew what I wanted to eat, but I wanted him to work for the tip at this point. I put my burger order in and within a short period of time, it came out. The beef patty was cooked properly and was the same as before. The bun was chared beyond recognition and I was hungry had a headach and didn't feel like asking for another one. So, I thanked the waiter by docking him a buck off his tip and away I went. Now, I will still suggest this place because out of 3 times to have one bad experience isn't all that bad. I also take into account the fact of the location and the quality of employee pool that Tonopah has to offer. Yes, I will try them one more trip before I write them off. Stay tuned for one more review. **2nd review**
